DELAWARE, Ohio ( WCMH ) — U.S. 23 is the most dangerous road in Delaware County, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. During May, there were three fatal crashes in just 10 days. All three were due to driver error. However, it's still an area of concern for the agency that builds and maintains Ohio's roadways, and they're asking for the public's input on how to reduce congestion. It's been suggested that a limited access highway rather than one with 40+ traffic signals be built from Interstate 270 through Delaware County to Marion, but the Ohio Department of Transportation's research shows that isn't the route to go.
